Signal Hill Seven Times
A quick edit on some training footage-I was trying out the “audio” back on the Go Pro and some different angles and shots off using the ski pole mount. A lovely day to be out on the hill.

Republic of Snow (a.k.a. Snow Day 3)
The third in a series of “snow day” movies. Always fun to be out in a storm and see what the helmet cam can do. Today was climbing seven of the steepest hills in the downtown St. John’s.
